we should have an annual Andrea K. Grahn Useless Shit Award. people from all around the country gather to show off their useless junk. rules state that the junk cannot be worth more than $25, but will be judged on its ratio of purpose-to-presentation. the prize goes to the thing that best rides that line between too-neat-to-throw-out but still utterly pointless.

sigh. one of the reasons I miss ande is that, had I posted that a year ago, there would have been a very real chance that she'd have actually set it up.
We have a bowl where we keep all of our keys. Another bowl for twist ties. Another for the little sauce packets you get with every order of Chinese take-out. I used to keep my bling in a bowl when I wasn't wearing it until the cats decided it was a bowl of toys, so now I keep that in a little glass bowl with a lid. In fact, all the aforementioned bowls have had to be protected from the cats, but they are serving a function. Any chance you could find this bowl a reason to exist, however trivial?
